How to create a scala.collection.immutable.Seq from a Java List in Java?

I'm trying to get Akka going in my Java project, and I'm hung up on a small issue with the Seq type(s) from Scala. I'm able to convert my Java List of ActorRef into a scala.collection.Seq, but the Akka API I'm trying to use requires a scala.collection.immutable.Seq. How can I make one?
